Power from the houseCheck to see whether there's power getting to the dryer. Is it plugged in? If you plug something else into the outlet, does it work? If not, check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.Door switchIf the door switch or the door-switch actuator is defective, the dryer won't work and you need to replace the failed component. The switch is inside the dryer main housing near the door frame. Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch. TimerIf there are open contacts in the timer, it won't operate.Thermal fuseOn many dryers, there's a thermal fuse (a heat-sensitive fuse that blows if the dryer overheats) mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse is about an inch long. It's usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white plastic housing. If the fuse has blown, it has no continuity. When this happens, your dryer either just stops heating, or it doesn't work at all. Be sure to inspect the venting/heating system before replacing the fuse to put the dryer back into operation. (You can't re-set this type of fuse.) Hope this helps

Your dryer may not be receiving adequate voltage to start. Make
sure your dryer is plugged in. Also, check the circuit breaker panel to
make sure all the circuit breakers are in the correct positions. Or
check to make sure no fuses in the fuse panel are blown. Try plugging
something else into the same outlet. If it won't work either, then there
is likely something wrong with the power outlet. Any of these could be
the reason power is not getting to your dryer. Also, refrain from using
an extension cord to plug your dryer in.

Door Switch

If your dryer's door switch is defective, it will not
allow your dryer to start. Test your dryer's door switch. If it is
defective, replace it.

A thermal fuse is a heat-sensitive fuse attached to
your dryer's exhaust duct (in most models) that is designed to blow if
the dryer overheats. A blown fuse would cause your dryer to not heat, or
to not work at all. Open up your dryer's cabinet and locate its thermal
fuse. Test the component. If it has blown, replace it.

Your dryer's timer will not function properly if its
motor is malfunctioning. Open up your dryer's cabinet and locate its
motor. Test the component. If it is not functioning as it should,
replace either the motor itself, or the entire timer assembly.

If the problem you are having is
that your Maytag gas dryer is not starting, these
are the parts you will need to check until you find
and correct the problem.

You need to make sure that the wall outlet has 120
volts presents in it, in order for the dryer to be
able to start. Connect a good working hair dryer in
the wall outlet, if the hair dryer works, then you
know that the wall outlet is not the problem.

Most gas dryers have one thermal fuse and some have
two thermal fuses wired in series with the motor. If
any of the thermal fuses are blown that could be one
of the reasons of your dryer not starting.

The timer is the distribution center in the dryer,
the timer will send the right voltage to each of the
individual parts in the dryer. Most common problem
with the timer, is burnt contacts.

The motor is in charge of turning the tumbler,
turning the blower to circulate hot air inside of
the dryer and making sure that the heating element
won't come on when the dryer motor is not running. A
bad or weak motor could be the reason for your
Maytag gas dryer not starting.

The door switch is a safety device use to prevent
the dryer motor from starting or running when the
door in the dryer is open. Burnt contacts or a
broken actuator on the switch could be the reason
that the dryer is not starting.

The push to start switch is single pole single throw
switch that is use to start the motor. Once the
motor starts running the switch is no longer in the
motor circuit. A bad push to start switch could be
the cause of your dryer not starting.

Burnt terminals or wires on the cord could be the
reason for your dryer not starting.

As you can see, if any one of these parts fails the
dryer will not start.please comment on these post by staying how helpful.
